A brother precious to us has been liberated from this earth! His soul is with the ancestors, acknowledged by the billions of galaxies and trillions of stars as extremely wise, bold and prudent.

A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled.

May your wisdom and knowledge serve as footprints to the many generations to follow.

We treasure our memories of one we loved so dear. May your wisdom and knowledge serve as footprints to the many generations to follow. You will be deeply missed, Brother Hugo “Yogi” Pinell, but never forgotten. You have our undying love.

Send our brother some love and light: Mutawally Joka Kambon (M. Cooperwood), C-46411, Salinas Valley State Prison C3-126, P.O. Box 1050, Soledad, CA 93960. This is the first message received so far from prison, where thousands are hurting from the loss.
